Description
A 32-bit number in the form of an IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) that uniquely identifies the
OSPF area in the OSPF domain.
OSPF area operation Normal, Stub, or NSSA. In some Autonomous Systems, the
majority of the topological database may consist of AS external advertisements. An OSPF
AS external advertisement is usually flooded throughout the entire AS. However, OSPF
allows certain areas to be configured as "stub areas". AS external advertisements are not
flooded into or throughout stub areas. Routing to AS external destinations in these areas
is based on a (per-area) default only. This reduces the topological database size, and
therefore the memory requirements, for a stub area's internal routers.
Use the pull-down menu to enable or disable the translating of Type-7 LSAs into Type-5
LSAs, so that they can be distributed outside of the NSSA. The default is Disabled. This
field can only be configured if NSSA is chosen in the Type field.
Displays whether or not the selected Area will allow Summary Link-State Advertisements
(Summary LSAs) to be imported into the area from other areas.
Enter the metric (1 - 65535; 0 for auto cost) of this area. For NSSA areas, the metric field
determines the cost of traffic entering the NSSA area.
